Jikin Jekjek Wa Eṇ

Description

A simple sign and illustrated panel in Wōja, Jikin Jekjek Wa Eṇ marks one of the Marshall Islands' most compelling cultural sites. This is where legend says Ļetao, the great Marshallese trickster figure, carved his outrigger canoes, sharpening his tools on coral and resting the hulls on coconut tree trunks. The physical artefacts lie buried beneath the surface today, but the story alone makes it a worthwhile stop for anyone curious about the legends woven into this landscape.

Highlights

  • Tied to the legend of Ļetao
  • Illustrated panel brings the legend to life
  • A quiet roadside stop
